There was a problem hiding this comment.
That is not what happened in the code linked to. It was only a change in warning. PHP never really used direct system timezone. In the far past, it tried to guess which timezone the system was by looking at UTC offset, the DST flag, and the abbreviation. The warning for that was finally removed in PHP 7.0.
